** Linux system '''has automatic and free security updates and does not require anti-virus sofware'''. Linux system runs '''free and effective firewall protection'''...
** '''Diskless Workstations (a.k.a. "Thin Clients") are hooked up to a central server.''' In the Computer Lab, it is '''<u>not</u> necessary to have workstations use the hard drive'''. The hard-drives were removed from the workstations to be used with other computer systems in the church. Other computers that contain hard drives allow the option of "Dual Boot" (i.e. boot Ubuntu Linux from machine or boot from the network).
** (Diskless) Workstations can '''run applications from the main serveserver'''r <u>or</u> '''run applications from diskless workstation (eg. memory cache)'''...
** '''Current server (Pentium IV 3.4 Ghz, 3 GB RAM, 80 GB hard drive) can support up to 15 diskless workstations'''. Ability (in future) to '''sync multiple servers to expand to larger number of workstations''' (if required)...
* '''Use of Linux (Ubuntu) operating system''' and '''open source software''' '''provides free software for the computer lab now and into the future.'''
